About

I am passionately committed to one thing, and one thing only… Weddings!! And more specifically, capturing the story of your day. I’m an artistic photographer who focuses on the unique moments and beauty that will only ever exist on your wedding day. I’m not focused on following the latest trends, and I don’t use presets or filters, because I genuinely want every one of your wedding photos to reflect the true experience of the best day of your life.

My Values

Every week, I get to meet people from all over the country, and sometimes from all over the world. I get to see people at their happiest, when they're surrounded by their closest friends and family. I get to see people when they're nervous, when they're emotional, when they're ecstatic, and maybe even a little intoxicated (or a lot). Week after week, seeing people in these revealing moments, one thing becomes very clear - we have more in common than we realize. There's more that unites us than divides us.

Equality and inclusion are core values of my business, and I will always be honored to assist clients of any race, nationality, age, gender, religion or sexual orientation.

My Advice

Your photographer will be an extremely important part of your wedding day, and you’ll probably spend more time with them than anyone else. Choose a photographer whose work you love, AND a photographer you genuinely like. Ask questions and get to know them. I promise you, it will make a difference on your wedding day. I’m sincerely grateful for the friendships I’ve gained from each and every one of the weddings I’ve photographed, and I love seeing so many anniversaries on Facebook and Instagram, and being able to say, “It was an honor to be a part of their special day!”

Talented and Good Vibes

John is one of the nicest photographers I’ve ever worked with after spending over 10 years in the wedding industry. I’m technically competing with him for business so that should speak volumes for my writing this review. His work is excellent and he’s got amazing vibes and treats his staff well. I would trust / hire him to work for my own family members.

Absolutely Phenomenal!

John was absolutely wonderful! When I first reached out, he got back to me right away and he made our wedding day extra special. His work is top quality and he is so unbelievably talented. A very kind, and professional individual. His ability to capture every emotion, and every detail is unmatched. Thank you John!

Incredible Photographs. Amazing Photographer.

John is the most incredible wedding photographer hands down. He did both our engagement and our wedding day photos and we cannot believe the amazing shots he captured. He is incredibly professional, knows exactly what shots we wanted and needed, and put everyone at ease during the post-ceremony photography. John has an incredible eye for the most amazing shots and he made us feel comfortable in front of the camera during each session. He captured our love, our special moments, and our goofy personalities and family. Thank you a million times over, John!

He is wonderful

John not only makes you feel like a million bucks as he is shooting but his photos are beautiful! We have not yet received our wedding photos, but I have no doubt that they will be spectacular! He was so kind, so helpful, and so professional. He was flexible with us having other photographers and even when wedding plans quickly changed (from outdoor to indoor) he adapted and still got all the photos we wanted. We cannot wait to see the photos and cannot recommend him enough! Thank you!

Hype Man Photographer

I spent a lot of time looking at different photographers and trying to figure out what vibe I wanted. I wasn’t into the washed out look or the super dark moody pictures (although both beautiful In their own way). I just wanted classic non cheesy photos that captured the moments. I told him I didn’t want him running around like 007 and trying to hang from a ceiling to get the shot. He was amazing! What a great personality to work with. Everyone raved about him! He will be your Hype man.

Images & personality are bright & refreshing!

As a fulltime wedding DJ I have had the opportunity to work with hundreds of photographers over the years. When selecting a photographer, potential clients often focus solely on the images.

What some people do not take into consideration is the interpersonal skills and command that a photographer needs. John is that rare breed of incredible talent with the ability to politely but firmly command even the rowdiest group.

After a wedding ceremony is a crucial time period. This is a short period of time where some photographers end up cutting into a wedding timeline because they cannot properly organize the family for photos. Having worked with John multiple times, I see first hand how he always keeps things on track.

The end result is always amazing to see. I sometimes question whether or not I was at the wedding. The lighting and angles that he uses are superb. I cannot recommend John Moody enough. Stop reading this and reach out to him now!

We've never looked so good!

John Moody, owner of Moodyography, is a FANTASTIC photographer! He is experienced, kind, has amazing equipment, and has an eye that found some beautiful moments in my wedding. He also was great at wrangling my very large, very loud family during the portraits, and that is not an easy feat! Hire this man! He will give you gorgeous shots at a great price. Thank you so much, John!

Amazing Photos, Great Guy

Let me start by saying your expectations will be exceeded. In everything. Not only is John a wonderful and talented photographer, but he is a great person as well and so great to work with. Every single question I had was answered super quick, and it was so helpful to have his knowledge of weddings throughout our planning process (His wife is also a wedding coordinator so he knows things about weddings that aren't just photography related). The photos are amazing, I honestly don't even have the words to describe how incredible they are. Every single photo is amazing and captures our day so perfectly. John is definitely passionate about his work and giving each couple he works with the best photos possible of their special day. You really see this in the time and detail he puts into each photo. If you're looking for an amazing photographer who truly wants to capture your day and all of it's emotion, look no further than Moodyography. I'm still so in awe of our photos and will definitely be recommending him to anyone and everyone I know getting married!!

Quality but Slow

To us, photography was our #1 Priority for the wedding.

After looking at different options and interviewing several photographers, we decided to hire John to do the job.

Why did we go with him?
- His quality of work showed.
- He was very meticulous during our interview call when he went over the process and the way he worked.

During the job (the wedding and engagement pictures), John was very professional, courteous, and had great ideas for the pictures.

The pictures turned out beautiful, just as expected.

The downsides would be:
- Be prepared to wait months for your pictures. 4 months and a half for us.
- After the events, communication gets sloppy.

As a tip, be very SPECIFIC about what you want in the pictures. We worked really hard on all the small details and decor and we weren’t able to see them on the wedding day, so we were excited to see them in the pictures, and well...long history short, we don’t have pictures of that (bouquets, champagne wall, seating charts, welcome table, flowers).

So in a nutshell:
- Great to work with during the events
- Amazing pictures
- Takes time to get your photos
- Prioritize communication
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
